Like everybody else, I heard that he had a 'normal' childhood. However, watching an interview he gave alongside his father gave me a different impression.

Firstly he was not hugged or touched a lot as a young child it seems, and lived in a very isolated place.

What concerned me though, was his father's insinuation that his own childhood was complex and I had this strong gut feeling that I was observing a line of abuse. Jeffrey and his father remained close, and his father pointed the finger at his ex wife's drug taking but I felt that was a decoy.

I feel that Jeffrey Dahmer has remained confidential and, effectively frozen out the memory of abuse.

The way his father referred to Jeffrey's behaviour notably changing when he was 6, and his lack of curiosity or intervention implied strongly to me that he was aware of why. Also when he talked about this he started to blink rapidly as people often do when they feel very uncomfortable.

So it's just a hunch, but I don't think Dahmer *did* have a *normal* childhood. I think he was ostracised, abused, and then around so much anger and argument that his young mind fragmented.

The fact that dissection was how he experienced intimacy shows that touch was not introduced to his life.

It'd be interesting to discuss this with anyone who's familiar with the subject....
